2 little girls, the 4 year old Mei and the 9-10 year old something
Satsuki, moves with their father to a house in the
japanese country. A countryside as peaceful, green and lush as only Master
Miyazaki can create - i wanna live there too.
The girl's mother's hospitalized for the big C. (i think) which gives an underlying
sad tone to the girl's adventures. The
kids have open minds and can still see things the grown-ups can't, as small
dustball creatures and a Big furry thing in the
huge tree. They call him Totoro and he may be the king of the forest. The
flying catbus, ha, ha, great. A masterpiece!
